### 6.11. The Transmission Group

              -- the Transmission group

              -- Based on the transmission media underlying each interface
              -- on a system, the corresponding portion of the Transmission
              -- group is mandatory for that system.

              -- When Internet-standard definitions for managing
              -- transmission media are defined, the transmission group is
              -- used to provide a prefix for the names of those objects.

              -- Typically, such definitions reside in the experimental
              -- portion of the MIB until they are "proven", then as a
              -- part of the Internet standardization process, the
              -- definitions are accordingly elevated and a new object
              -- identifier, under the transmission group is defined. By
              -- convention, the name assigned is:
              --
              --     type OBJECT IDENTIFIER    ::= { transmission number }
              --
              -- where "type" is the symbolic value used for the media in
              -- the ifType column of the ifTable object, and "number" is
              -- the actual integer value corresponding to the symbol.
